Per Don Y:
OTOH,
dig for two minutes and it's hammering away!

I avoid digging and shoveling snow. Both are just too far outside of
my accustomed exertion window.

Guy I used to work with went outside one night to dig a drainage ditch
around the house because of severe rain.

Wife found the body next day...

All things considered, not a bad way to go.
